Instructions for an angel craft
1. Body of the angel
Cut out a fabric circle 22 – 24 in.(60 cm.) in diameter (or to fit the height of the bottle).
Make a hole in the middle of the fabric circle to fit over the neck of the bottle.
Place the fabric over the bottle.
Press the foam ball firmly onto the top of the bottle.
2. Angel wings
Trace your child’s hands on the foam sheet.
Cut out the hands without indenting the fingers all the way.
Spread glue on the hands and shake glitter or confetti onto the glue.
Hole punch through both ‘thumbs’.
Loop a long piece of narrow ribbon through the holes in the thumbs as shown
Draw the thumbs together so that one hole overlaps the other.
Wrap the ribbon around the neck of the bottle and secure with a bow. This image shows the back of the angel, the glittery side of the wings faces front.
3. Finishes
Glue cotton or yarn hair to the foam ball head.
Glue craft eyes to the face.
Draw a mouth with a fine point marker.
Twist the chenille stem into a circle to make a halo. Glue the halo in place.
The special hand-print wings make this a memorable Christmas craft.
Display your Christmas angel for everyone to enjoy!
